Due to the sensitive nature of sexuality and sexual health education, some students may find it difficult to contribute to class discussions. It is important to provide an inclusive learning environment where diversity is valued and all students are able to succeed.

To ensure an inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environment schools may consider a range of options when structuring classroom delivery of sexuality and sexual health education. Some options may include:

• All students participate in learning activities within the same classroom.
• Single-sex delivery. Male and female students are separated into different classrooms while they learn the same content about both genders.
• A combination of both approaches. Students are introduced to content in single-sex groups. Students are then combined to further discuss and reinforce knowledge and skills.

A range of interactive teaching strategies can be used to promote learning.
